Partnership
Working together, the interaction of your spheres of
influence can achieve significant deeds "I ching"
We encourage you to relax and embrace and be thankful
for any opposing forces, as they are your teachers who challenge you to reach
heights you might never attain without them. True strength, like water, blends
with opposing forces.
A warrior does not view opponens as the enemy to be
beaten or killed.Such thought patterns could cause you great stress and
anxiety.Instead, remember that the word "competition" in Latin means
"to seek together".
In all of your competetive events, consider your
opponents as partners who help you seek
greatness.A good Warrior opponent is someone who will challenge you to discover
your best -inviting you to push beyond what you thought were limits.
Whether working out or working on a corporate team,you
achieve so much more by working together.
Take your inspiration from nature. Remember that flocks of geese flying in V formation travel
71 percent farther by helping each
other. Other birds, when flying as
partners,can travel as much as three thousand miles in four and a half days
non-stop, rest for a few days, and then repeat the process.
Declaration: I love my opponent because the better the
competion, the more I discover how good I really am.Competition always brings
out the opportunity for personal best-performance.
Reflection: What might I gain or learn from viewing my
opponent as my partner, mentor or teacher ? In what way can I teach my opponent
to take it up a notch ?
[paraphrased and inspired by Spirit of the Dancing Warrior]
